arizona senator john mccain is a long time advocate of immigration reform he tried to enact his own plan in 2006 and one of the architects of the new deal. senator, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> so what you say to those in your party and on talk radio that when you look closely, this is simply amnesty? >> well i hope they do look closely because border enforcement and border security is a prerequisite and obviously that makes sense since we don't want to have a repeat again some years from now of another group of people coming to this countryily eelcountry illegally. we can do it we have the technology and the capabilities. second of all, people who have not committed a crime here or done something wrong will have a legal status but they will not be able to have citizenship until they line up behind those who came here legally to get a green card on a path to citizenship. they'll pay fines. they'll pay back taxes. they will have to meet a lot of criteria. i hope that as more americans see this proposal that they will understand that we cannot have forever 11 million people

>> well, you heard the clip of john mccain basically saying it's all about that. but that's not entirely true. you have a lot of business leaders who are saying at both ends of the immigration scale, both the agricultural workers but then also the high-tech workers, there needs to be -- there's an economic imperative for straightening out the american system and there's a part of the american fabric they we are part of the imgation and there has to be something done for that for moral reasons as well. >>> speaking of 2016 and returning to the "60 minutes" interview last night, to see the warmness i mentioned between president obama and hillary clinton, what do you think joe biden thought of it all? >> well, i think he was probably looking on the calendar for his "60 minutes" interview to be scheduled for 2015. hillary clinton just came out of that bruising hearing. this is a much better image to be leaving with. >> joe biden will have an opportunity to do things over the next four years. >> that's right. he'll have his moments and he'll hope for some kind of final

in mccain's republican caucus, some fear that the bill amounts to de facto amnesty. >> no one should expect the members of the senate are just going to rubber stamp what a group have met and decided. >> reporter: conservatives like fox news commentator sean hannety were strongly opposed to the 2007 attempt on the grounds that a path to citizenship amounted to amnesty. this time talking to one of the republican authors of the plan, he seemed more open to listening. >> i will say this, it's the most thoughtful proposal that i have heard, and you've explained it better than anybody. but the devil will be in the details. to me, i agree with you that if they don't secure the border first, there's no point. >> reporter: there's no guarantee that this will pass the senate let alone the house where the political calculus is very different. many house members have few hispanic constituents in their districts. even so, there's also been a group meeting in the house quietly to work on their own plan. so the president today in las vegas will make the first speech in a campaign to get immigration
